The size of Timeship Relativity

The USS Relativity (NCV-474439-G) is a 29th century Federation Wells-class starship operated by Starfleet. The timeship was commissioned at the University of Copernicus, and was initially under the command of Captain Braxton.

  • The premise for all my deck calculations: a deck is 2.5m + 0.5m for EPS cables, power cables, ... = 3m height for a deck. 
  • My calculations follow a purely mathematical approach. I do not compare bridge modules or disk heights with each other. I always pull in decks based on the rows of windows and then calculate a physically plausible room height.
It's not so easy to see in the Star Trek Voyager episode, but the bridge of the USS Relativity has a large window structure on its ceiling.

Using the high-resolution depiction of the USS Relativity in Eaglemoss magazine, you can draw the size of the decks in the side view and thus determine the length of the ship.

Assuming a deck is 3m high, this gives a length of 263.7m for the USS Relativity.
